1-3 Server Chassis Features
The SC513L-260 features a unique design that places all I/O ports at the front of
the chassis for easy access. The following is a general outline of the main features
of the SC513L-260 chassis.
System Power
When confi gured as a SuperServer 5015B-MF, the SC513L-260 chassis includes
a single 260W power supply.
Serial ATA Subsystem
The SC513L-260 chassis was designed to support one internal 3.5" Serial ATA hard
drive. This Serial ATA drive is not hot-swappable; power must be removed from
the system before installing or replacing. ATA/100 IDE drives can be alternately
supported.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the Serial ATA drives.
Control Panel
The control panel on the SC513L-260 provides important system monitoring and
control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activ-
ity and system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a main power
button and a system reset button.
Front I/O Panel
The I/O panel for the SC513L-260 is located on the front side of the chassis. It
provides one COM port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a graphics
port and two Gb Ethernet ports.
Cooling System
The SC513L-260 chassis has an innovative cooling design that features one 10-cm
blower-type system cooling fan. The blower fan plugs into a chassis fan header
on the motherboard and an air shroud channels the airfl ow to effi ciently cool the
processor area.
A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined by system
temperature [the recommended setting is 3-pn (Server)].

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5015B-MF
up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have
the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes
that your 5015B-MF system has come to you with the processor and memory prein-
stalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor,
system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for
details on installing specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5015B-MF was shipped in and note
if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage, you should fi le a
damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer 5015B-
MF. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid
areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. You
will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The SuperServer 5015B-MF does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as
the system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail
package is available if you wish to order from Supermicro. Follow the steps in the
order given to complete the installation process in a minimal amount of time. Please
read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined
in the sections that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
•
completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.This product is for
2-1
S
UPERSERVER 5015B-MF User's Manual
installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms,
service closets and the like).
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices
•
acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display
Units.
Warnings and Precautions!
!!
Rack Precautions
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to
•
the fl oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
•
In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple
rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
•
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-
multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the
•
rails.
•
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack fi rst, and then
work up.
•
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-
•
ing them.
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
•
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
2-2
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera-
ture of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient tempera-
ture (Tmra).
Reduced Airfl ow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airfl ow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connec-
tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

UPERSERVER 5015B-MF User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5015B-MF into a
rack unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead
to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
Basic Installation Procedure
The 5015B-MF server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located
on each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply
screw these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).
You may also detach the brackets from the chassis and move them back approx.
4 inches, where you will see a group of three holes to secure them to. You may
then secure them to the rack as just described. Note that installing in this manner
may prevent you from closing the rack door.
Installing with Optional Rackmount Kit (CSE-PT8)
This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit.. Each of
these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the chassis
and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-1). This is a
guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit. You should also
refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using. Be
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Rail Sections
Inner (chassis) rail
Outer (rack) rail
2-4
Chapter 2: Server Installation
aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the
assembly procedure will differ slightly.
The two rail sections must be detached from each other prior to installation. Do this
by depressing the locking tab on the inner rail to release it from its locked position
then pull the two rails completely apart. Do this for both the left and right side rack
rail assemblies.
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position the fi xed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the chassis
so that the three screw holes line up with the corresponding holes on the chassis.
Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c. Screw the rail securely to the side of
the chassis (see Figure 2-2) with the screws provided in the rackmount kit. Repeat
this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need
to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which
serves two functions. The fi rst is to lock the server into place when installed and
pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also
lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server
from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails
2-5
S
UPERSERVER 5015B-MF User's Manual
Installing the Rack Rails
Locate a pair of front (short) and rear (long) brackets in the rackmount kit. The
brackets are marked with arrows to distinguish front from rear. Secure the front
and rear brackets to the rack rails using the screws and washers provided, but do
not fully tighten. Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5015B-MF
in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Adjust the length
of the rails according to the depth of the rack. Now tighten the screws holding the
brackets to the rails.
Next, secure the rail to the rack with the screws provided. Repeat this procedure
to attach the other rail to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at
the exact same height.
Installing the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next
step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis
rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping
the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when
inserting). The server may not slide in easily when installed for the fi rst time; some
adjustment to the rails might be necessary. See Figure 2-3.
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click".
When removing the server from a rack, you will need to release the locking tabs
on both rails to pull the unit completely out of the rack.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the SuperServer 5015B-MF into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped
brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the
server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to
balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server,
remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the
two rear brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of
the rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to
the rack. See Figure 2-4.

sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been
made.
Accessing the Inside of the System
If you installed with rails, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the
1.
unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").
Remove the screw at the back of the chassis that secures the top cover.

ing the airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. Also, check
the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under the blower fan and
beneath the frame cross section that separates the drive bay area from the
motherboard area of the chassis.
2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drives
and Serial ATA backplane have been properly installed and all essential connec-
tions have been made.
Checking the Drives
To access the internal hard drives, you will need to remove the top chassis
1.
cover. See step 1 in the previous section for instructions on removing the top
chassis cover.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have an IDE
2.
or Serial ATA drive already installed. If you need to install an IDE or Serial
ATA drive, please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by a single 10-cm blower fan. The system component
1.
layout was carefully designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow through the small
1U rackmount space.
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they
2.
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.

3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel to keep you constantly informed of
the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specifi c com-
ponents. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel. This chapter
explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you
may need to take.
3-2 Control Panel Buttons
There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in order
from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.
Reset
The reset switch reboots the system.
Power
This is the main power switch, which is used to apply or turn off the main system
power. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps
standby power supplied to the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the chassis has fi ve LEDs. These LEDs
provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This
section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective ac-
tion you may need to take.
Overheat/Fan Fail
When this LED fl ashes, it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously it indicates
an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airfl ow in
the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of
the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should
also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that
the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain fl ashing
or on as long as the indicated condition exists.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 5015B-MF from damage:
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well
•
as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from
the system.
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
•
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in-
•
stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules
and fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the
system with the operating system fi rst and then unplug the power cords of all
the power supply units in the system.
When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar
•
with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if neces-
sary.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This
•
is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical
components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection
•
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifi cally
designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
•
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

SUPERSERVER 5015B-MF User's Manual
Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard
•
battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure
4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
•
CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a CD-
ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radia-
tion exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional
way.
•
Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-
ture Coeffi cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service
technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one
replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
!
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the 5015B-MF clean and free of clutter.
•
The 5015B-MF weighs approximately 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg) when fully loaded.
•
When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their
feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift
with your legs.
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-
•
moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be
stepped on.
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
•
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or
be pulled into a cooling fan.
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal
•
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact
with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
